In the first quarter of 2014, the Company made certain administrative changes to the Plan which resulted in an expected reduction in future post-retirement medical benefits. The resulting reduction to the post-retirement medical liability was inadvertently not recorded until the third quarter of 2014. As a result, an out of period adjustment of approximately $11.7 (after tax) was recorded to reduce the post-retirement medical liability and increase other comprehensive income. The Company concluded that the impact was not material to the current or prior periods.
The effect on operations for the Company Plan and the PEP is summarized as follows:
